'Well-regulated militia' is nowhere in sight
The Gazette (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) ran the following op-ed by Bob Elliot
The city at the north end of our cultural-technology corridor put on a sensational fireworks display earlier this month to celebrate the 220th anniversary of the Constitution's 2nd Amendment being ratified.
It was four months late, but what a meaningful way to recognize how the National Rifle Association (NRA) and others have used that controversial amendment. Actually, it's not the amendment that's controversial, it's the broad differences on how it should be interpreted.
I have family members and good friends who disagree with me, but I'm one of those who believe reasonable gun controls, in addition to being constitutional, would be a huge plus for public safety.
You may have noticed that the 2nd Amendment's first two phrases focus on the necessity of a well-regulated militia. I believe the Founding Fathers envisioned an organized and well-regulated militia. I can't believe they had in mind more than 300 million people running around with weapons ranging from small caliber revolvers to assault weapons.
That makes sense to me, how about you? If folks insist on citing the slave-owning, misogynistic demi-gods they reverently refer to as The Founders, they should at least strive to be honest about what they, The Founders, intended.
What's your opinion? Please leave a comment.

I think that you're not paying attention.
Fresh fruit being a source of vitamin C, the right of the people to keep and eat oranges shall not be infringed.
Does that statement mean that people can't simply enjoy an orange for its flavor? What if they want to use one to make a mixed drink?
The militia clause gives the explanation for why the right is ennumerated, but that's the subordinate clause. The right of the people clause is independent and is not limited just to members of the militia.
But reading the work of gun grabbers tells me that few of you understand grammar.
Greg, you're flippin' and floppin' all over the place. Now you say we can interpret the 2A like that, ignoring the first part of it.
Greg Camp April 30, 2012 at 5:26 PM
I've said the same thing all along. The militia is the motivation, but the right is for all citizens.
Mikeb, I'm curious, do you have a problem with the other items in the Bill of Rights that the slave-owning, misogynistic demi-gods included? How about a license for free speech or to practice a certain religion? Perhaps do away with the right to be secure in your person & papers and abolish the right to a jury, or even a trial.
orlin sellers
Yes, the 3A is as anachronistic and meaningless today as the 2A is. The others work pretty well still. I think I'll keep 'em.
Our rights aren't based on your preferences.
David W. April 29, 2012 at 6:55 PM
Are you saying we should just blow of the law of our land? If the laws pertained to something else, I am sure you would pitch a fit if we called them anachronistic and should be undone.
Isn't the Magna Carta reallly old? Same w/ habeas corpus, due process, and trial by jury. I guess we should get rid of those too right because they are vestiges of a by-gone era?
We have been over this before - I and many others believe the militia clause is a "you get to" clause not a "you must have" kind. I can back that up based on what the founding fathers had to say about weapons, government, and liberty in general.
Do enlighten us Mike. Which Founding Fathers owned slaves? Which ones did not?
John Adams didn't own slaves, and many of the Founders were against slavery, including some of the slave owners. But activists get worked up when people of the past didn't conform to their expectations.
David wins the prize for the most innovative spin doctor.
"the militia clause is a "you get to" clause not a "you must have" kind."
Yeah, I once heard a joke that goes something like this. When the Founding Fathers were writing the Constitution & Declaration of Independence they were Deists. When the were beating their slaves they were Christians . . . You might be an Atheist if.
democommie April 30, 2012 at 1:33 AM
"John Adams didn't own slaves, and many of the Founders were against slavery, including some of the slave owners."
You have no idea how fucking stupid that sentence is? It's like saying that someone is fighting to preserve the peace, it can only make sense to an idiot like you.
This link:
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_of_the_signatories_of_the_Declaration_of_Independence_and_Constitutional_Convention_delegates_were_slave_owners
provides some information. It says approximately 2/5 to 1/2 of the constitutional conventions attendees were slaveholders. It does say that George Mason (a slaveholder) and others decried the institution, so what? If they were truly anti-slavery they would have simply freed their chattels. Only someone suffering from massive cognitive dissonance could perceive otherwise.
Greg Camp April 30, 2012 at 1:51 AM
In other words, Democommie, you provided support for my point, while at the same time you criticize it. You will let me know when you learn about the reading comprehension that you keep talking about, won't you?
TS April 30, 2012 at 9:42 AM
I'm one of those who believe reasonable gun controls, in addition to being constitutional, would be a huge plus for public safety.
Reasonable gun control is allowed under the second amendment, and the SCOTUS recently repeated that the right is not absolute. Anyone who wants to destroy the second amendment by saying there is no individual right to gun ownership must have something UNreasonable in mind.
David W April 30, 2012 at 3:16 PM
Really? You really want to go into depth about how the Founding Fathers viewed the 2A and its militia clause as a right and not a prohibition? Do you care to look at what the founders wrote about freedom and weapons in general? How did they view the Constitution after they wrote/signed it?
Mike, I think you know deep down that the founders supported the view that I hold . . . And you hate that.
You attempts to psychoanalyze me are a laugh. I suspect you're the one who knows your 2A argument is hollow.
Capn Crunch May 2, 2012 at 7:29 PM
What the Founders intended was obvious: they wanted citizens to be armed with effective tools for self-defense against any enemy to society -- whether that enemy was a local thug, a local gang, a local government, a state government, the federal government, or a foreign invader -- and they penned the 2nd Amendment to stop government from interfering with that objective. Anyone who claims otherwise is either lying or horribly misinformed.
As for Mr. Elliot's thinking that gun control is necessary for public safety, perhaps he can explain why there wasn't a rampant problem with "gun violence" 100 years ago when there were no "gun control" laws at all -- or why there is so much "gun violence" today after nearly 40 years of aggressive gun control laws on the books.
As for a well regulated militia, it will appear almost overnight if the need arises. Of course the more that our government criminalizes citizens for owning and possessing firearms in public, the harder it is to see that.
No, that's not obvious at all, in fact it's wrong. What the founders wanted, if it matters so much to you what the slave-owning misogynists wanted way back then, was protection against standing armies or foreign invaders. That's about it.
By the way I don't subscribe to the 2nd Amendment concept because I think the Founders were infallible, I subscribe to the concept because:
(a) It's in our U.S. Constitution which is the supreme law of the land, and
(b) It is an incredibly useful enumerated right that always has been and always will be useful.
That second point is very important. I have illustrated many times that violent crime is commonplace today and law enforcement is impotent to stop it. This is an example of the need for self-defense against individual criminals. And I pointed out how a Sheriff in Southern Arizona declared that citizens were on their own because he could no longer secure the several thousand square miles that drug and human traffickers have dominated. This is an example of the need for self-defense against gangs or even a foreign invader. And we have the example of the Battle of Athens Tennessee in 1946 where armed citizens stopped the local Sheriff and his posse from hijacking an election. This is an example of the need for self-defense from government gone awry.
I would also point out southern Louisiana in the days immediately following hurricane Katrina. Various law enforcement and national guard units began illegally confiscating firearms -- at gunpoint -- from law abiding citizens who were not breaking any laws. Those agents were guilty of several felonies including assault with a deadly weapon, theft, and acting under "color of law" to violate civil rights of citizens. For anyone who doesn't understand the "color of law" concept, here is a quote from the Federal Bureau of Investigation:
"... it's a federal crime for anyone acting under 'color of law' willfully to deprive or conspire to deprive a person of a right protected by the Constitution or U.S. law."

I am 100% a savoury breakfast kind of girl. My loyalty lies with veggies and eggs when it comes to starting my day, but very occasionally I fancy something sweet.
I originally called it a crêpe, which sounds fancier and I think it looks more like one rather than a pancake, but 'protein pancake' is an alliteration, and I always love a nice-sounding English language technique, so I'm going with that. This recipe is incredibly indulgent tasting, and it's high in protein and contains slow-releasing carbs, which makes it filling, and most importantly, it tastes amazing.
1.) Beat the eggs, cinnamon and almond milk, and mix in the mashed banana. For a smoother mixture, add these 3 ingredients to a blender and blitz until smooth (I'm just lazy and don't want to wash up my blender).
2.) Melt the coconut oil in a frying pan, tilting the pan to spread the oil around.
3.) Pour the mixture into the ban until the base is fully covered.
4.) Sprinkle over the berries and leave to cook for a few minutes, using a spatula to go around the edges of the pan to prevent it from sticking.
5.) This part is up to you – you can take a risk and flip it, or you can cheat like I did and pop it under the grill (I used the highest setting) for a few minutes until the surface of the pancake is no longer runny.
6.) Flip the pancake out onto a plate, add your toppings, roll it up and devour.
This looks incredible! Loving your insta by the way!


EZ Diet Editor: Just a few words about the new American Sick-Care Economy before you read 9 Ways That Processed Foods Are Killing People.
Here's a hot tip and tongue-in-cheek rant, invest in everything cancer, heart disease, diabetes, prescription drugs, medical, hospitals, hospice, and funeral homes. Business is brisk at up to $50,000+ for one chemotherapy treatment or a heart attack. And there are no lifetime claim limits on ObamaCare health insurance policies. Your diseased body could be worth millions to your handlers.
Strapping you down to a Chemotherapy torture rake, I mean medical recliner, is very good for the economy. Your potential claims payouts are worth as much, or more as your entire lifetime of consumption. A respectable funeral and final real estate is only $25,000, so get some life insurance and leave some lottery winners. It's the new sick-care economy and Americans are lining up to participate. Don't be silly, and don't let anyone tell you what you should eat, do your part and get a disease today. The investors need you.
There's more good news, there are no pre-existing condition limitations on ObamaCare coverage either, so go ahead and wait until you're diagnosed to buy health insurance. Isn't it wonderful? You become instant big claims revenue with no lifetime limits. You can enjoy as much medical torture, I mean benefits, as you can stand with guaranteed revenue to all your handlers. How convenient.
Health insurance carriers won't survive this madness. I suspect this may be the plan because it's not actuarially possible. But in the meantime, position yourself at the points where all that cash is being sprayed and enjoy the wealth to be made from Make America Sick Again. It's the new Sick-Care Economy silly. Do your part.
For this reason, if you see "artificial flavor" on an ingredients list, it could mean that there are 10 or more additionalchemicals that are blended in to give a specific flavor.

George Risk Industries, Inc. First Quarter Fiscal 2022 Results and Announcement of Annual Dividend
KIMBALL, NE / ACCESSWIRE / September 20, 2021 / GEORGE RISK INDUSTRIES, INC., (OTC PINK: RSKIA), a diversified U.S. manufacturer and leader of a wide variety of products in the security and proximity sensor industries, reported net sales of $ 4,955,000 for the quarter ending July 31, 2021. This is an increase of 22.44% over the same period of the previous year. Net income for the quarter ended July 31, 2021 was $ 1,746,000, a decrease of 29.97% from the corresponding quarter last year. Unrealized gains on investments were not as large as in the same quarter last year, resulting in an overall decline in net income. Earnings per share for the quarter ended July 31, 2021 were $ 0.35 per common share and $ 0.50 per common share for the quarter ended July 31, 2020.
George Risk Industries, Inc. is on track to have another year of record sales. Like everyone else, we faced challenges during the pandemic, but we were fortunate to be able to stay open every day, selling, producing, and shipping products across the country and around the world. Unlike many manufacturers who have experienced long lead times and shipping bottlenecks, we have been relatively unscathed with bulk purchasing and planning for advanced delivery times. However, as it looks like the pandemic will continue into the third year, we are starting to see delays in our supply chain.
Much of the increase in revenue can be attributed to the reopening of many businesses where our products are sold. These businesses include large national retail chains, warehouses, and technology companies. Fortunately, we haven't seen a slowdown in orders. Our product backlog continues to be an ongoing battle. Additional hiring, offering overtime and additional manufacturing space are solutions that we follow to meet the needs of our customers. Quality, customer service and resolving these barriers remain at the forefront of our day-to-day operations.
New product development includes explosion proof contacts that will be UL listed for hazardous locations. Customer demand prompted the development of this type of high security magnetic reed switch. An updated version of the Pool Access Alarm (PAA) has received ETL approval and production has started. Our glass break detector is being redesigned as well as our water shut-off system which will now include a brass valve.
At the last George Risk Industries, Inc. board meeting, held on September 8, 2021, a dividend of $ 0.50 per common share was declared. This is an increase of $ 0.08 from the dividend paid last year. This dividend will be paid to shareholders of record on September 30, 2021 and will be paid no later than October 31, 2021.
George Risk Industries, Inc. is engaged in the design, manufacture and sale to distributors and OEMs of custom computer keyboards, push button switches, burglar alarm components, alarms access to the pool, thermostats, EZ Duct wire covers, hydroelectric sensors and tool wires and cables. The company is represented in the United States, Canada, Asia and EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa.).

Suffolk officials: Property, violent crimes down 5% in county this year
Monday, October 14, 2019 12:36 PM EDT
Monday, October 14, 2019 5:00 PM EDT
Suffolk officials touted safety in the county at a news conference Monday morning.
The Suffolk police commissioner stood with County Executive Steve Bellone to say that property crimes and violent crimes are down 5% this year. Violent crimes include murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault.
"We are utilizing intelligence-lead policing, we have increased the use of specialized patrols and targeted enforcement to hone in on the most violent activity taking place," said Commissioner Geraldine Hart.
The only category that saw an increase was homicides, with 21 so far this year as compared to 18 at the same point last year.
Nine of those homicides are domestic-related, according to Hart. Keith Scott with the SAFE Center says often there are things to look out for in these cases.
"Most people don't wake up and snap, usually there's a pattern of behavior, pattern of abuse," says Scott.
Scott added that everyone in their communities need to keep an eye out for potential warning signs.
"They can call the police, they can call social services to get help," says Scott. "Don't think you're going to ruin someone's family, you could save a life."

The Artist's Sister at a Window
Artist: Berthe Morisot
Berthe Morisot (1841 – 1895) was a French painter and a member of the Impressionists. Born into a wealthy family, apparently she and her sister started taking lessons so that they could each make a drawing for their father for his birthday. They were taught privately by Geoffroy-Alphonse Chocarne, a painter trained in the neoclassical tradition. In 1857 Guichard, who ran a school for girls, introduced Berthe and Edma to the Louvre gallery where they learned by copying paintings. At the time girls were not only forbidden to work at the museum unchaperoned, but they were also totally barred from formal training. Through Guichard they met Corot, landscape painter of the Barbizon school, in 1861, under whose encouragement they began to paint out of doors near Pontoise. It was at the Louvre, she met Fantin-Latour who introduced her to Manet and others including Monet. In 1864, and the following six years, she exhibited in the highly esteemed Salon de Paris.
In 1874, she joined the "rejected" Impressionists in the first of their own exhibitions, which included Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Alfred Sisley. It's hard to imagine a time when the Impressionists weren't accepted and loved, but back in the 1874 they were avant-garde and disliked. I love this now outrageous description from Le Figaro critic, Albert Wolff, who noted that the Impressionists consisted of "five or six lunatics of which one is a woman...[whose] feminine grace is maintained amid the outpourings of a delirious mind." As her skill and style improved, opinions towards her changed and in the 1880 exhibition, many reviews judged her to be among the best, including the fore mentioned Albert Wolff. Soon after she was referred to as one of "les trois grandes dames" of Impressionism alongside Marie Bracquemond and Mary Cassatt.
Berthe was married to Eugène Manet, the brother of her friend and colleague Édouard Manet. In November 1878, their only child, Julie, was born. Julie posed frequently for her mother and other artistic friends including Renoir and her uncle Édouard. Berthe's home became a meeting place for painters and writers alike, including Renoir, Degas, Mary Cassatt and Stéphane Mallarmé. Morisot made pastels and watercolours as well as oil paintings, and during the final years of her life she experimented with lithography and drypoint etching.
The sitter : Berthe had two sisters - Yves and Edma Morisot. According to reports she was closest to Edma and although we can't be sure this may well be Edma. The two sisters were known to travel together, exhibit together, and often painted side by side. The two women, best friends and companions for 12 years, until Edma's marriage when she and her husband moved to Brittany.

Shining a light on 'Lumen fidei'
Posted on: 13th September 2013 |
Author: Michael Paul Gallagher SJ
Category: Church and Papacy, Theology, philosophy and ethics
Tags: pope francis, Lumen Fidei, encyclical, Pope Benedict XVI

Today, 13 September 2013, we mark six months since the election of Pope Francis. One of the most significant moments of his papacy thus far has been the release of his first encyclical, Lumen fidei, which was published in July. Jesuit theologian Michael Paul Gallagher offers a quick map of the encyclical, highlighting a few points of interest, and encourages readers to explore the whole text.
When Lumen fidei, the first encyclical of Pope Francis, was released in early July, it was immediately apparent that the text owed much to the style and theology of his predecessor, Benedict XVI. The citation in the introductory section of a fascinating sentence from a letter of Nietzsche to his sister did not seem typical of Cardinal Bergoglio. The authorship issue was mentioned openly in paragraph 7, where we are told that Pope Benedict had 'almost completed a first draft' and that Pope Francis had 'taken up his fine work and added a few contributions of my own'. One can do some guesswork about those contributions, perhaps finding the social vision of Pope Francis in the fourth chapter and in various typical expressions of his such as, 'Let us refuse to be robbed of hope' (§57). But even in that final chapter there is surprisingly little mention of the 'poor world' which has been a key concern for Pope Francis.
Instead of playing a find-the-author game, it seems more fruitful to highlight some of the richness of this text on faith (completing, as it does, previous encyclicals of Pope Benedict on love and hope). Of course the text belongs to the particular context of this Year of Faith. It is also in harmony with a series of reflections that Pope Benedict offered in his weekly general audiences between October 2012 and January 2013, which contain a surprising emphasis on the need, in a time of widespread distance from religious roots, to experience faith as a journey of rediscovery. He insisted that faith is not simply a system of beliefs and values, that it was not just 'a message about God' (21 November 2012) but an event of encounter, where we enter into and recognise a relationship with God. These discourses offer what we might call a pastoral spirituality of faith: we are encouraged to foster 'a pedagogy of desire', because the 'human experience of love has a dynamism that refers beyond the self' (7November 2012). In other words, faith grows when lived as an experience of love received, when the gift of God's love 'envelops and transforms us' (5December 2012).
When we turn to the encyclical, it is remarkable to find the word 'transform' used more than 20 times in the text with reference to the difference that faith makes to human life. Let me cite just three of these passages: 'transformed by this love, we gain fresh vision, new eyes to see' (§4); 'faith transforms the whole person to the extent that he or she becomes open to love' (§26); 'in faith we are receptive to the experience of God's transforming love for us' (§46). I would suggest that this focus on transformative love is a leitmotif for the whole document and is an emphasis that liberates us from an over-identification of faith with beliefs.
A word about the structure of the four chapters: the first is largely biblical, insisting that ultimately we believe in love. The second is more philosophical and tackles the complex nature of religious truth, suggesting that beyond all the debates about faith and reason, we need to be able to recognise love as a genuine form of knowledge. (Incidentally, this chapter opens with a favourite topic of Joseph Ratzinger as theologian, where he takes a text of Isaiah 7: 9 and discusses whether it means 'Unless you believe, you will not understand', or better, 'you will not be able to stand fast'.) The third chapter explores the challenge of transmission of faith today and seems less fresh or stimulating than the earlier two chapters. It tends to repeat the Catechism on the act of faith, sacraments, commandments and prayer. The fourth, as already mentioned, offers a more social perspective, seeing faith as also a 'praxis' in the service of 'justice, law and peace' (§51). In particular, it challenges Christians not to be ashamed of bringing faith into the public sphere.
Before finishing let me comment on two passages that have something in common. That quotation from Nietzsche (in paragraph 2) told his sister to take risks because in an age of uncertainty everyone has to create their own way, and he added: if you just want peace of soul, 'then believe, but if you want to be a follower of truth, then seek'.In other words, faith offers a false security, and authentic seekers have the courage to go it alone. Against this Nietzschean suspicion, the very title of the encyclical suggests the metaphor of light (a word that appears nearly 150 times in the text). Is faith an illusory light or a genuine one? Is faith fearful and immature, or else courageous in searching for a different light, a 'great light' that cannot 'come from ourselves' (§3-4)?
In chapter 2 the encyclical returns to the theme of searching, evoking the Magi as figures who follow the light and discover Christ. But in this context the Pope (or should we say popes?) enlarges the perspective in two directions: 'The light of faith in Jesus also illumines the path of all those who seek God, and makes a specifically Christian contribution to dialogue with the followers of the different religions' (35). Thus the 'seeking' that Nietzsche advocated is now seen as a quality shared by all religious believers and indeed by many genuine unbelievers. And, unexpectedly, the word faith is applied to those who keep searching: 'faith is also a way for men and women who, though not believers, desire to believe and continue to seek. To the extent that they are sincerely open to love … they are already, even without knowing it, on the path leading to faith' (§35). Karl Rahner, for one, would be pleased with that generous papal perspective.

We strongly suggest that you visit the market before making an application. This is the best way to see what type of stalls we have, what we might be looking for in terms of variety and quality, to get a feel of the market overall and familiarise yourself with the layout.
During your visit, please pay particular attention to any traders who might have similar products to your own and bear this in mind when you apply. For instance, if we have an established trader selling chocolate brownies it would be unlikely that we would give a pitch to another brownie seller. However, you would still be welcome to apply as traders do come and go and the situation can change as the season goes on.
We operate a rolling programme of assessment and pitch allocation throughout the year so there is no 'deadline' to applying. However we do book markets up to 3 months in advance so there will not necessarily be space available if you are requesting dates that are coming soon after you apply.
We are a curated market so submitting an application does not guarantee you a pitch. Your application will be automatically entered into our system for assessment and we will send you acknowledgement that it has been received.
Please see the information on the Trade With Us page of our website – this gives details of what we are looking for when your application is assessed.
We will write to you again to let you know if your application has been successful or not. If you have been successful we will add you to the list of potential traders for each of the months you requested on your application.
We tend to look at markets in seasonal batches for example, around the end of January we will look at the spring markets of March/April/May and try to fit in as many successful traders as we can into these three months.
We will then write to all traders to let them know if, a) they have been allocated a pitch for March/April/May OR b) if they are on the waiting list for March/April/May.
We have an overview of the entire market across a particular season and we allocate pitches with the aim of providing both variety for visitors and consistency for traders. It is a challenge!
There are many more successful applicants than pitches available. It is just not possible to allocate all successful traders a pitch for every market they have requested so we operate a waiting list for every market. We do get cancellations and other movements as market day approaches so there is often the opportunity to take up traders from the waiting list.
No, your application will be ready for consideration for all the dates you requested. When we get to allocating pitches for those dates we will let you know if you have a pitch or a place on the waiting list.
If you applied for a market after the pitches were allocated you will be on the waiting list for that market.
IT IS NOT NECESSARY FOR TRADERS TO GET BACK IN TOUCH AFTER APPLYING – UNLESS YOU WISH TO CANCEL ANY OF THE DATES YOU INITIALLY REQUESTED OR UPDATE YOUR APPLICATION IN SOME WAY.
No, we assess applications and allocate pitches on a rolling programme all year so you can apply at any time throughout the season. Please bear in mind that when we allocate pitches we try to give traders as much notice as we can – for example, pitches for the October market will have been allocated during the summer. Therefore, if you apply for the October market after summer then it is likely that all the pitches will have been filled. We will still assess your application of course but if you are successful we would only be able to offer you a place on the waiting list.
Please allow plenty of time for your application to be assessed for the dates that you are requesting. We advise that if you apply less than 10 days before a market then it is unlikely that your application will be assessed in time to be considered for a pitch.
Please read the Criteria & Guidelines on the Trade With Us page of our website. Here you will find our assessment criteria, pitch size information, prices, trader requirements and the application form.
Applicants under the age of 16 must have the consent of an adult before completing the application form and, when trading, must be accompanied by an adult on market day.
No, we do try to keep traders within the same area that they have traded in before but with different traders coming along each month is it not always possible to keep the same spot for a trader at each market they attend.
No, however we allocate pitches to traders with an overview of the entire market in mind and do not intend to create unfair competition between traders. Therefore we would not place traders selling similar items in close proximity to each other – or even place them at the same market. We aim to provide as much variety to visitors as we can and ensure an even range of product type throughout the market.
By submitting your application you are asking to be considered for all the dates you have indicated on your form. We will then undertake a considerable amount of administration work to process your application, assess it and enter you into the list for consideration for each market date you have requested.
Yes, all suitcase traders are provided with a free table for their pitch. This will either be set up for you when you arrive or stacked nearby so that you can collect it.
We have various tables that we provide for suitcase traders. They are between approx 80cm and 100cm square. Suitcase pitches must take up a maximum 1m square and any additional stock you bring must fit under your table.
No, we are an outdoor market and the areas where we have suitcase stalls are not suitable for any cover structures. Traders may bring their own cover if they are worried about the weather HOWEVER, any cover you bring must not exceed the size of a small garden parasol or golf umbrella. Your cover must also be easily collapsible and removable. Suitcase traders may also wish to consider bringing some clear polythene sheets to protect their stall from a passing shower.
Not if you don't want to! Traders in this area bring suitcases, vintage trunks and even prams, or many set up a product display straight onto the table.
PLEASE NOTE Traders on Catherine Hill must allow for potential access by the emergency services so your display must be constructed in such a way that it can be lifted and carried to one side very quickly. Any cover you bring (see additional FAQ above) must be easily collapsible.
The idea of using a suitcase is that you will be able to close it up and move your display very easily – although of course if you have another type of display that does the same thing that is perfectly fine.
Your pitch will be under one of our modular covers or parasols and there is space for a 2m x 1m trestle table with room for you to stand behind and store stock under the table.
There is space for a 2m x 1m trestle table on your pitch. You can either bring your own or hire one from us for £5. You will be invoiced for your table and it will either be ready on our pitch or stacked nearby for you to collect. Please DO NOT take a table unless you have requested one and been invoiced as tables are allocated to specific traders.
All food traders must declare on their application that they have attained a minimum of Level 2 in Food Safety and which local authority they are registered with as a food business.
You will be allocated a space which is 3m WIDE and approx 4.3 metres DEEP.
You may bring your own 3m x 3m gazebo if you would like cover. You must bring adequate WEIGHTS for your gazebo. Any covers that are deemed unsafe and inadequately weighted will be removed.
Traders in this section may bring their own gazebo which must not exceed 3metres in width. There are a limited number of gazebos that belong to Mendip District Council that we can hire to our traders at a non-refundable cost of £15/market.
All traders who are using a gazebo, whether their own or hired from Mendip, MUST bring adequate weights with them on the day – containers filled with sand, water etc. Our team will be inspecting gazebos throughout market day and any that are deemed to be unsafe will be removed.
Yes, all alcohol traders must apply for their own TEN to cover their stall on market day. If we allocate a pitch for you please get in touch to get the postcode of the area you will be trading in so that you can enter this on your TEN application. We also ask that you prominently display signage (which we will provide) that instructs customers to consume off-sales in the vicinity of your stall.
As a guide we say no more than 2kw for each trader but this only a guide. Please state on your application what electrical equipment you intend to use and how many kilowatts you require. We will pass this information to our Safety Manager who will advise on if we have enough power for you to trade with us on a given month.
We have a very limited number of pitches where electric is available, so if you are able to trade without it, please let us know.
We are not able to permit generators anywhere on site.
We have very limited space in the areas we can have hot food/drink traders. Generally speaking, we can only provide a 3m x 3m space which is large enough for a standard gazebo. If your stall exceeds this size then it is unlikely that we can offer you a pitch – or you may have to wait longer as we look to reconfigure other areas of the market to fit you in.
Yes, please read the section in our Terms and Conditions that relates to Food Traders – there are guidelines that you must follow. Our Safety Manager will be checking all hot food/drink stalls on market day to ensure compliance.
Yes, it is part of your Terms and Conditions that all traders must remove all waste and any other items from their pitch at the end of the day. This includes clearing up any spillages.
You must not place your food waste, packaging or unsold stock in or alongside any of the public street bins or bins belonging to specific businesses in Frome. Our set up team will patrol the market area at the end of the day and will take photographs of any pitches that have not complied. That trader will not be allowed to trade again with The Frome Independent.
All traders must carry up to date Public Liability insurance of at least £5 million.
Yes, we are able to offer a limited number of first-time traders coverage under our insurance policy for a fee of £5 per trader per market. Note that this cover is for Public Liability ONLY and will not provide insurance for your stock or any staff you may employ. Please indicate in your application if you wish to be covered by our insurance.
No, our cover is for FIRST TIME TRADERS only. If you have traded with us on a previous occasion (within the same market year) then you must now provide your own Public Liability insurance cover of at least £5 million.EXCEPTION: Suitcase traders may come under our cover for each market they attend.
Please follow this link to our Terms and Conditions. These MUST be read and agreed to as you submit your application.

How to attach Red Studs: Before you attach the pine needles, you want to make the holes large enough to fit the studs using the GourdMaster Pro Carver with Fili-Point Burr. If you already have a gourd that has a pine needle rim and would like to add studs you will also need to use a Carver with a Fili-Point Burr. Make sure you're very careful when enlarging the holes so you don't accidently tear the wax linen thread.

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:
Why the government is proposing to intervene;
The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.

Following the publication of the Final Report of the Commission of Inquiry into Mother and Baby Homes and Related Matters in January 2021, Aitheantas ran a short context survey of adoptees' opinions and views on the report. The survey was shared to adoptee related support groups and on social media platforms.
Respondents were evenly divided between those within the remit of the Investigation and those who were not within the remit. There is a shared dissatisfaction between those who could participate in the Commission of Inquiry and those who could not. Neither group was satisfied by the Commission of Inquiry nor its final report.
When participants were asked their opinion on the fact that they were not eligible to participate in the Commission of Inquiry, many expressed feelings of rejection and frustration, as evidenced by the quotes below:
"[I felt] that my experience did not matter, that I did not matter, that I had nothing useful to contribute".
"I felt that it excluded me and other people that should have been given the chance to have our [mother and baby] home examined".
"Rejected once again".
"I would have valued an opportunity to participate. My voice would have been heard. [I was] upset about it at the time".
"Excluded, silenced, discriminated against, unrepresented, ignored and forgotten. Nothing new there then!"
"I feel my opinion, my experiences and my issues are ignored due to an arbitrary decision yet another stranger made about me, without me, but completely affecting me".
"I feel strongly that the investigation, the report's findings, the apology and any reparations, further exclude me".
"It's a whitewash".
"[I] asked for a copy [of the final report], still waiting. My part was not included under the [section about] the [mother and baby] home I was in. But my story was symilar [sic] to what came out in report. I was there under X months [,] I wasn't [sic] treated great in [the] home. But it was one of the best run [homes]. Just because my mother was in the same time as me, I was lucky to see her for a short time during the day."
One respondent who was within the remit of the Commission on Inquiry, but who did not have an opportunity to participate, noted:
"It was difficult, I thought when the [mother and baby] home I was in was included that I could go to talk to them [the Commission]"
All respondents were disappointed and frustrated by the final report of the Commission. The quotes below highlight respondents' anger at the report's style and content:
"It is an unmitigated insult and the whole thing from beginning to end has been extremely abusive, even by going under the 2004 [Commissions of Investigation] act".
[..] I think the report was also poorly written and poorly presented. The recommendations were badly set out. The tone of the report was condescending".
"All that time, money and effort for what?"
"The untimely apologies, despite our protestations, the inexplicable exclusion of so many from so many institutions, the sheer lack of even the bare minimum of respect and therefore the blatant contempt shown to a vulnerable and traumatised marginalised community, are all a resounding shame and an utter disgrace!"
The use of the report's findings for academic research was noted, but its inadequacy for victims was emphasised.
"Some of its findings are of benefit, probably to academics, the media and historians, but of little benefit to victims and survivors. The language, the press leaks from the Dept, the conclusions of 'No evidence', the contradictions, the destruction of testimonies, the way the Minister mishandled the database sage [sic] in Oct '20, the fact [that] testimonies are not word for word and incorrect, the way people did not receive a hard copy of the report, the webinar, the rhetoric & the whitewash, the phenomenal cost, the Commission's doubling down and lack of communication, the societal blame and the already ignored recommendations… survivor centred approach my adopted xxx!"
Respondents noted that the limited nature of the Commission's remit affected its ability to effectively carry out an investigation, as elaborated in this quote:
"If it were a scoping exercise to check the viability of further investigations then to some extent it would have been understandable, but as a stand-alone investigation it makes no sense. The Commission covered so little and interviewed so few that it is hard to see the sense of it, it effectively shut out so many people. Then proceeding as if it were done and dusted, we have all the answers and we'll move on focusing on the tiny section that the commission focused on is upsetting, it's like a loss of franchise all over again."
The full text and a video of An Taoiseach's apology was provided in the survey. However, the apology delivered by An Taoiseach was seen as being insufficient by all respondents. It was felt that the commission excluded far too many who were directly affected, a fact the respondents believe An Taoiseach should have acknowledged.
All respondents felt that there needed to be a full investigation into the practices of forced and coercive adoption in Ireland, and that this investigation should include all mother and baby homes, agencies and institutions. They also agreed that the history of mother and baby homes and forced and coercive adoption should be taught in schools and colleges at secondary and third level.
The majority of respondents felt that the focus of any museum or repository of records should be adoptee/survivor-led with priority access for adoptees/survivors and their families.
A majority also felt that any future repository or museum should be in a neutral location that had no prior association with this past.
There was also a clear preference for an interpretative–based, survivor-led model which gives the social context of mother and baby homes, features permanent exhibitions and provides priority access to records for adoptees, survivors and their families.
Survey results indicated that adoptees who had taken a DNA test were more likely to prefer an interpretive-based model as opposed to a records–based model, whereas adoptees who had not taken a DNA test were more likely to prefer a records-based model.
Based on the result of this and other surveys, Aitheantas believes that adoptees who have taken DNA tests are further along in their information tracing process and now see the practices of adoption in a wider societal context.
As the numbers of adoptees taking DNA tests and conducting their own information tracing increases, Aitheantas believes that an interpretive-based model that gives the wider societal context is the most appropriate and suitable model for any repository/museum.
Respondents had many thoughts on the potential location and model of such a museum/repository, as highlighted in the quotes below:
"I think having something in Galway would be good, Tuam is there and even if the home is long gone there should be something there to remember them, I don't know that a centre would be a good idea […] far too painful for people to go back […] so something new and modern [would be good]".
"I think there are a few good ideas here that I have not heard before. The [one-off genealogy support] grant is a good idea for people who have already had to pay a lot of money to find records or documents and are further along. The museum focused on survivors [is] a good idea because we can see from the commission what happens when it is records based and [carried out] by people who do not know the background".
"We need something for the mothers and children in the north [Northern Ireland], no one remembers the homes in the north".
Respondents were strongly in favour of a one-off grant for adoptees to support genealogical research, as opposed to this service being made available through a centre or museum. Genealogists and family history researchers have proven to be an ongoing and useful support for adoptees.
This is reflected in the majority of responses that wanted this help supported and acknowledged in the form of a one-off grant to support information tracing. Individuals who responded to the survey are at different stages in their own tracing journey and in need of different supports at different times. A one-off grant was seen as fairest and meeting all needs while also providing autonomy.
"[I] especially agree with the grant aspect for tracing as a lot of adoptees, myself included, would have already paid to have a lot of research work done or paid for ancestry test which being quite honest I would never have done if there had been any other way to get the information".

You also know that C++ lets you create your own types. There's no way that the language and library designers could ever predict all the types that all the programmers in the world will be creating.
With C++, you don't have to settle for the first solution that doesn't quite seem right. Sure, the language doesn't know anything about robot speed controllers. But you do. At least you should if you're writing code to manage robots.
You get to tell the C++ language all about your new robot speed controller including how to get it to behave just like all the built-in types. Your code looks just like the int type shown earlier.
There's a lot of operators available to you and all but a few of them are open for you to redefine so they know exactly how to work with your custom types. This is one of the biggest and most powerful abilities of C++ because it lets you write code that blends in with the language so it all seems natural.
Part one starts with an overview of the operators and introduces you to terms that you'll need to understand.
Boolean operations will introduce you to logic. Truth tables show the results of input combinations.
Relational operations let you make decisions and test for conditions. This is how your code will know when it's had enough, or when the game is over, or when it still needs to keep working on something.
Math operators are what you might expect from operators. The C++ language doesn't treat these as anything special.
Part two starts here with bitwise operations and masking and shifting.
Assignment and assignment together with operators are how you change variables. Without these, your code would never be able to remember anything.
Conditional operation is the only operator that takes three parts. It takes a little getting used to and will let you write less code.
Comma operation is interesting because it doesn't do much. But what it does is sometimes exactly what you need.
Casting operations let you change between types.
Part three starts with access operations and wraps up by describing how all the operators work together.
Function call operations are what let you call methods. This operator can also let you make classes callable.
Order of operations and precedence can get complicated at times. Especially if you rely completely on the defined operator precedence. A little extra parenthesis can sometimes make your code more readable even if they might not be absolutely necessary.
Grouping and scope operations let you specify exactly what you want.
Associativity controls how operators relate to the rest of the expression.


It is important to notice that the metameric plan of growth of Chaetopods is still preserved.
According to Heymons, the yolk-cells must be Metameric Segmentation.
Palaeontology therefore throws no light on the question whether the metameric or the unsegmented Mollusca were the earlier.
The Cephalopoda can be derived without much difficulty from the schematic Mollusc, if we assume that some metameric repetition of organs has occurred, as explained above in reference to the coelom.
And similarly in the development of a complicated organism, the suppression or doubling of a single cell or group of cells may bring about striking differences in the symmetry of the adult, or the reduction or increase in the number of metameric organs.
Much of the character of organisms is due to various symmetries, radial, bilateral, metameric and so forth, and these symmetries arise, partly at least, from the mode of growth by cell division and the marshalling of groups of cells to the places where they are destined to proliferate.
2, 9), with its metameric transverse grooves and flagella.


You should leave nothing to chance. Before someone from the family or friends are asked you leave this task to me. Finally, all guests should have from this particular day something.
And from now on you can get your recordings in 4K - for even better and sharper movies!
Starting at 499,-- € (549,-- $) you get a perfect, recorded movie, for example, of your church wedding, which will be filmed at least with three cameras from different perspectives.
Any further recordings are calculated separately - depending on complexity. For me there is no so-called package prices (Standard, Premium, Exclusive) - you can get an individual offer, after all, even your wedding is as individual as you are.
The finished film can be found on DVDs or Blu-rays in a special designed case for wedding films.
In a free and no-obligation consultation at your home, I make you an offer and give you further suggestions on what you can do on film around your wedding. Send your invitations as a video message, or I shoot you with a short movie how you have to know each other, to show your guests during the wedding celebration.

Q: RDMA program randomly hangs Anyone out there who has done RDMA programming using the RDMA_CM library?
I'm having a hard time finding even simple examples to study. There's an rdma_client & rdma_server example in librdmacm, but it doesn't run in a loop (rping does loop, but it's written using IB verbs directly instead of rdma_cm functions).
I've put together a trivial ping-pong program, but it locks up anywhere after 1 - 100 bounces. I found adding a sleep inside the client makes it work longer before hanging, which indicates a race condition.
The client gets stuck in rdma_get_send_comp() and the server gets stuck in rdma_get_recv_comp().
My limited understanding is that before every rdma_post_send(), you need to issue a rdma_post_recv() that will be coming after the send. Also before every send (except for the 1st client send), you need to wait for a message (rdma_get_recv()) indicating the other side is ready to receive.
What could be wrong?
Server(rdma_cm_id *id)
{
    ibv_wc wc;

    int ret;
    uint8_t recvBuffer[MESSAGE_BUFFER_SIZE],
            sendBuffer[MESSAGE_BUFFER_SIZE];

    ibv_mr *recvMemRegion =  rdma_reg_msgs(id, recvBuffer, MESSAGE_BUFFER_SIZE);
    if (!recvMemRegion)
      throw 0;

    ibv_mr *sendMemRegion = rdma_reg_msgs(id, sendBuffer, MESSAGE_BUFFER_SIZE);
    if (!sendMemRegion)
      throw 0;

    if (ret = rdma_post_recv(id, NULL, recvBuffer, 1, recvMemRegion))

    if (ret = rdma_accept(id, NULL))
       throw 0;

    do
    {
        if ((ret = rdma_get_recv_comp(id, &wc)) <= 0)
            throw 0;

        if (ret = rdma_post_recv(id, NULL, recvBuffer, 1, recvMemRegion))
          throw 0;

        if (ret = rdma_post_send(id, NULL, sendBuffer, 1, sendMemRegion, 0))
           throw 0;

        printf(".");
        fflush(stdout);

A: Curses! I was bit by a bug in librdmacm-1.0.15-1 (from 2012) that came with SUSE 11. I knew there was nothing wrong with my send/recv sequencing.
I first tried comparing my code with other examples. In one example I saw
while (!ibv_poll_cq(id->send_cq, 1, &wc));

instead of rdma_get_send_comp() and likewise for rdma_get_recv_comp(). I tried replacing those in my example and miraculously, the hanging is gone!
Hmm, maybe rdma_get_send_comp() isn't doing what I'm expecting. I'd better take a look at the code. I got the code for both 1.0.15 and 1.0.18 and what do I see in rdma_verbs.h?
2 very different IB verb sequences:
// 1.0.15
rdma_get_send_comp(struct rdma_cm_id *id, struct ibv_wc *wc)
{
        struct ibv_cq *cq;
        void *context;
        int ret;

        ret = ibv_poll_cq(id->send_cq, 1, wc);
        if (ret)
                goto out;

        ret = ibv_req_notify_cq(id->send_cq, 0);
        if (ret)
                return rdma_seterrno(ret);

        while (!(ret = ibv_poll_cq(id->send_cq, 1, wc))) {
                ret = ibv_get_cq_event(id->send_cq_channel, &cq, &context);
                if (ret)
                        return rdma_seterrno(ret);

                assert(cq == id->send_cq && context == id);
                ibv_ack_cq_events(id->send_cq, 1);
        }
out:
        return (ret < 0) ? rdma_seterrno(ret) : ret;
}

vs
// 1.0.18
rdma_get_send_comp(struct rdma_cm_id *id, struct ibv_wc *wc)
{
        struct ibv_cq *cq;
        void *context;
        int ret;

        do {
                ret = ibv_poll_cq(id->send_cq, 1, wc);
                if (ret)
                        break;

                ret = ibv_req_notify_cq(id->send_cq, 0);
                if (ret)
                        return rdma_seterrno(ret);

                ret = ibv_poll_cq(id->send_cq, 1, wc);
                if (ret)
                        break;

                ret = ibv_get_cq_event(id->send_cq_channel, &cq, &context);
                if (ret)
                        return ret;

                assert(cq == id->send_cq && context == id);
                ibv_ack_cq_events(id->send_cq, 1);
        } while (1);

        return (ret < 0) ? rdma_seterrno(ret) : ret;
}

Can anyone explain why 1.0.18 works while 1.0.15 randomly hangs?

Q: How to filter tensorflow dataset by value of single feature How to filter tensorflow dataset by value of single feature?
I spent a lot of time to understand how to filter tensorflow datasets with filter method, unfortunatelly the documentation is not clear enough for me https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/data/Dataset#filter, maybe it will be useful for someone.
In  example  below the goal is: Select samples if for the feature name 'Status" value is equal 'success' and for feature name 'Cost' value is >0.
dataset = tf.data.experimental.make_csv_dataset('file1.csv',....)
dataset = dataset.unbatch().filter(lambda x, y: True if x["Status"] == 'success' else False)
dataset = dataset.filter(lambda x, y: True if x["Cost"] > 0.0 else False)

A: You can try something like this:
import tensorflow as tf
import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame(data={'Status': ['Success', 'Failure','Failure', 'Success'], 'Cost': [0.0, 1.0, 1.0, 2.0]})
df.to_csv('data.csv', index=False)

dataset = tf.data.experimental.make_csv_dataset('/content/data.csv', batch_size=2, num_epochs = 1)
dataset = dataset.unbatch().filter(lambda x: x["Status"] == 'Success' and x["Cost"] > 0.0)

for x in dataset:
  print(x['Status'], x['Cost'])

tf.Tensor(b'Success', shape=(), dtype=string) tf.Tensor(2.0, shape=(), dtype=float32)


Reham Khan Just Called Imran Khan A 'Charsi Driver' Steering Pakistan And PTI Fans Are Literally 'Rubbing It In'!
Humans are full of mistakes and errors, no human born in this world is perfect! This is a universal truth that we all know, but there was a mistake that Imran Khan did, which nobody will ever forget! That mistake was his second marriage, well, he too must have admitted and regretted that decision of his till now. But, oh well!
There are two very different and surprising situations here, one is with Jemima Goldsmith, she being the first wife who gave Imran Khan two very talented sons. After they separated their ways, Jemima still continued to support Imran Khan! Even after his third marriage, Jemima did not stutter back in taking pride and congratulating Imran Khan for becoming the PM of Pakistan.
And the second situation is what we all know about! Reham Khan and Imran Khan's marriage lasted less than a year, and during this time Reham was introduced to the common Pakistanis by Imran Khan. No matter how bitter the truth tastes, but in reality, not many Pakistanis knew about who Reham actually was.
But things started to make a little sense when Imran Khan got married for the third time and elections were near, Reham Khan found it to be the right time and launched her "book". We all know what was in that book and how many people were affected after the storm which this book created!
So this happened, Reham Khan called Imran a 'Charsi Driver' behind the car that is Pakistan!
After the epic fail which her book was, she continued with the same which she was doing before. Tweet! Tweet against Imran Khan, implicitly which makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE! This is how the people reacted to it — obscene!
I have experience of traveling with charsi drivers, they drive a car like a bullet train, they have more control on their cars and can take you home faster than others.
Baki sab side karo, this boy won the internet for the day!!! Firdos ki lawn apki hue!
